Clement Family

First Generation

Heinrich Clement (1737-1807) and his wife Sophie or Sophia Swicegood (d. 1747) are the earliest in this family in North Carolina. Thanks to Charles Swisegood, we now know where they came from and approximately when they arrived:

   "Elizabeth Catherine Artinin, who arrived at Philadelphia five weeks ago on the ship Crawford, Captain Smith, seeks news of her brother, Jno. Heinrich Clement, who came to America six or seven years ago and in York County married a daughter of Lorenz Schweiszgut. They are from Mittelfischbach, in the Darmstadt region, in the Neider Grafschaft Catzellbogen, and their father is Christoph Clement."
From the STAATSBOTE, November 17, 1772. (A German language newspaper printed in Philadelphia in the mid to late 1700's.)

Children of Jesse Adam Clement and Malinda Nail

*Both Sally and Mary are buried in the Clement family cemetery on Eaton Street in Mocksville. The birthdate of one of them must be incorrect as given in the cemetery records book: Mary is listed as born 12 Sep 1828 and Sally was born 31 Oct 1828. In the cemetery records, Sally is specifically identified as Jesse and Malinda's daughter, and she appears with them in the 1850 census, age 20. Jesse and Malinda married in January 1828, so either birthdate is possible for a first child.
